MAYO It P9UCLL NO.tll.lATED After a long contention over the dele gate and substitutes, the convention last night nominated for re-election Mayor A. M. Powell. The report of 1 the convention elsewhere will give the proceedings in detail. Mr. Powell will begin his third term in May. His services in the past may be taken as an earnest of the future. He has the Interest of the city at heart, and should receive the active co operation of all citizens in any effort in the city's behalf. TICK INLAND CANAL. From a military well as a com mercial point of view the construction of the Panama canal, or a canal across that Isthmus, was and is deemed a ne cessity for the future welfare of ouf people and country. To meet this ne cessity the Congress has Just made a large appropriation, and the work will be done. As a hand-maiden, we may say, of trTis isthmian canal, an auxiliary of that great work-and of equal military as well as commercial necessity. Is the proposed inland canal connecting Ches apeake Ray by way of Albemarle and IumHco Founds with. Reaufort Harbor In this State. While we may not expect, and it is hoped we may not have, any occasion for Its protective advantages in a military sense, yet thl3 is on of Its very important advantages, worthy the consideration of the country. But under present conditions th commercial necessities of such a passage- ay avoiding the ets and storms f Hatteras are naturally uppermost 'for consideration. And to our fx lend Congressman Small of the first district we believe will be due , more largely than to other Individual effort the .na!.op?n- anJ 8UCn Purpose should be consummation of this great scheme. He Is now accompanying a party of gentle men through the seaboard-cities of the Fouth In an effort to enlist the active1 v "r" " support of the business men thereof m jThe Prty " a"J Primaries ; lehalf of th!s measure. The party va? at Charleston on Tri- cay. nnd mat evening addresd thet Chamber of Commerce. The News and Courier of that city reiorts the meet ing as follows. and rre reproduce the report in full as therein Is stated Intel ligently the object and Importance of the great scheme, whose great im Iortance to our own State Is mide more manifest. The News ami Courier says: "The Hon. John II. Small. Congress 'ian from the 1st district of N'orth Carolrt,a, an,i jn Clarence H. Forest, ecretary of the Merchants" and Manu facturers" .Association of Italtimore. ad dressed the business men of Charleston a tht Chamber of Commerce yester- day on the pressing need of an inland waterway between Norfolk, Va., and Beaufort. N. C. Their purpose was to show that such an inland passage would lnefit this city In common with every iKrt on the Atlantic coast from Mary land to Florida, and 'to obtain the co operation of Charleston in the endeav or to induce Congress to grant an ap propriation sufficient to construct the canal. After hearing the pr ctical and Informing addresses which were deliv ered it was declared, on motion of Mr. It. Ooodwyn Rhett. that the business . .-. i r.i-tiei1 the community 01 Lnanesiu" contemplated undertaking and the ter was referred to the f reign t Durwu i . -i n re- to prepare a report or cuuv.., ins- Conrress to make the necessary ap rroprlation. The presidents of all the commercial bodies in Charleston ana representative business men were pres ent at the meeting. Mr. Small said the project was to construct an inland passage from the Chesapeake Bay to an inlet at Beau fort. North Carolina, leading into the Atlantic ocean! The waterway would be sixteen feet deep and would cost from seven to ten million dollars. Sur eys had been made and as an engi neering projosition it was entirely feas ible. Congress would have to be con vine, however, that an expenditure of t h amount asked for was Justified by our Inland trade before an appro priation would be granted. It is the plan of the committee directing the project to have all the ports along the coast from Maryland to Florida Join in the plea to r-nngress for this appro- North Carolina are aireaay m assistance and voice of Charleston, Xf- Rrunswick, Savannah and Jack sonville are solicited. The speaker then explained how Charleston would be benefitted by the construction of this waterway. He had not come here to elaborate on any academic proposition, inless he could demonstrate to the business men of Charleston that this inland passage would be in multitudinous ways help ful to this rort he would not ask for aid or encouragement. The fust point to be considered was that involved in the subject of barge transportation. The cheapest and most satisfactory way to transport bulky freight is to employ barges. And yet it was deem ed unsafe and impracticable to use barges for this purpose because of the dangers to be encountered from storms and reefs in rounding Cape Hatteras. Consequently barge transportation on the Atlantic coast between Baltimore and Charleston was prohibited because of the danger attending it. An inland passage would rectify all this, reduce the danger to a minimum and the re sult would be to the mutual advantage of all these ports. Barge traniortation. said the speak er, would greatly reduce freight rates. He figured that there would be a re duction in the tariff rates of about S3 1-3 per cent. This, in round num bers, would eJToct a saving of not less than SoOO.O'W annually in freight charges Briefly put. barge transporta tion would make for cheaper freight rates, cheaper insurance, and would aid in. the development of a freight tariff from this port not possible under ex isting conditions. Mr. Small had facts and figures at hand to support his contention, and his argument was convincing and com manded the closest attention. He was followed by Mr. Forrest, who urs?ed the Importance of submitting to Congress such an" imposing array of petitions, reports, statistics and pertinent infor mation as would compel favorable ac tion on the plea for an appropriation. Mayor Smyth, president of the Cham ber of Commerce, who presided at the meeting, suggested that if th project were favored by Charleston business men the freight bureau be Instructed to prepare a report to be submitted to Congress. urging that the appropria tion be granted. Mr. " R. Ooodwyn Rhett made a motion to that effect. Unanimously adopted. The meeting then adjourned." ithout questioning the Intentions i j . . . , . . hand between the second and third but- of the parties to the dele gate-substitut- , - . . - , ,Tl. - , , , J 0 tons of his frock coat.

The -Winston Sentinel remarks" upon a recent occurrence: "Wisconsin has passed an anti-cigarette law. Wisconsin grows tobacco extensively, but it is cigar leaf. That partially accounts for it." The discovery that tobacco put up in the cigarette form was unhealthy and immoral was made when tho use in tnis sua oped so rapidly correspondingly curtailing the use of cigars, and largely though to a less extent the pipe. The fight of the cigar makers, who were unquestionably badly hurt for some years by the success of this North Carolina product both of growth of leaf and the manufacture thereof, has been carried on upon a "high moral plane" until the farmers themselves in many instances, losing sight of their own immediate Interests and misled as to the motives of those who started the crusade fell in with the popular outcry against the cigarette. This article of inter-State and inter national commerce is more largely a North Carolina product than it is of any other State. And bright leaf is peculiarly excellent for the cigarette and the pipe and three-fourths of the crops grown by our farmers that com mand the highest market price let it be high or low in general, is of the class thus consumed. Not only so but mil lions of dollars are Invested in this State in the manufacture of this leaf into cigarettes and smoking, which is sent literally "around the world" to consumers who prefer these goods in these shapes because of their superi ority. As in the case o't the cigar-leaf glow ers of Wisconsin so it is and has been the case with other growers and man ufacturers In carrying on, the contest on pretense of "moral, and" physical" injury. Our farmers, as well as others we believe are beginning to catch on to the motive of those most interested In keeping up this assault upon these important North Carolina products. But they need to keep their eyes upon the demagogues who think by attack ing these State interests they can ride into place or position upon a "high moral wave." We stand by North Carolina products and producers against selfish foreign ers or domestic demagogues. The way candidates manage their campaigns in Chicago strikes us as containing more elements of popularity if not success than some other ways, appointing proxies or substitutes for delegates already chosen for instance. Here is a Chicago report of a Chicago M-ay of reaching the popular heart: "The delicate aroma of Turkish ciga rettes, mingled with the fragrance 6f Russian tea, floated through the lux urious campaign headquarters of Fletcher Dobyns, candidate for alder man In the Twenty-nrst ward' of Chi- The campaign headquarters are open in room 4i, No. 196 Wabash , avenue. There, at the fashionable hours of the day, Mr. Dobyns can be seen by his constituents and be met personally by his voters. A grand soiree at the Mar quette club on next Tuesday will be the Kociety equivalent to the campaign rally."
